Cloud data storage has many practical advantages over traditional data centers, but making a move also comes with many unique security considerations. When moving to AWS, begin how you wish to continue. Companies that transition to cloud data storage must update their approach to information security to protect their data. Setting up proper security practices during migration will help future teams securely and efficiently deliver applications and features.

As organizations are increasingly moving their workloads to the cloud, cloud security is becoming more important than ever.

As organizations are rapidly moving to the cloud to leverage the cloud advantage, services are also moving to the cloud, including cybersecurity solutions such as SIEM. In fact, SIEM as a Service is rapidly gaining momentum as an alternative to traditional, on-premises SIEM solutions. In its 10 Questions to Answer Before Adopting a SaaS SIEM report, Gartner had predicted that by 2023, 80% of SIEM solutions will have capabilities that are delivered via the cloud.

Investigating the origin of activity in cloud-native infrastructure—and understanding which activity is a potential threat—can be a challenging, time-consuming task for organizations. Cloud environments are complex by nature, comprising thousands of ephemeral, interconnected resources that generate large volumes of alerts, logs, metrics, and other data at any given time.

Don’t panic, but phishing assaults increased by 350% since the pandemic. Phising is one of the most prevalent and effective online con games. To put the scale of the damage it causes into perspective, phishing brings in $1 trillion more a year than Walmart’s total sales. Please, remain calm! When you hear 'phishing,' your first thought that probably comes to mind is 'emails.' Phishing attacks frequently go through emails in the guise of files, PDFs, hyperlinks, and other formats.

The ongoing growth in the adoption of cloud services poses escalating opportunities and risks in equal measure. The increased capacity and scalability of cloud environment lends itself to an accelerated pace and higher volume of software and application development than ever before. This trend brings into play a huge increase in the number of software components and dependencies that developers use in their code bases.
